The Courier-Mail has published another of its roughly-monthly 800-sample Galaxy polls of Queensland state voting intention, and it maintains an established trend in giving the LNP a 54-46 two-party lead. On the primary vote, the LNP holds a commanding lead of 43 per cent to 34 per cent. The poll provides all sorts of bad [...]

Newspoll: ??-??
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 – 4:36 pm
Following last week’s surprising and almost certainly rogue Newspoll result, The Australian sent its pollster out into the field again over the weekend for an eagerly anticipated follow-up survey. However, when the results were published yesterday, all that was offered was attitudinal results on asylum seekers – although breakdowns by party support made clear that [...]
Galaxy: 55-45 to LNP in Queensland
Sunday, November 1, 2009 – 12:46 am
The Sunday Mail and Courier Mail seem to be in a pattern of producing Galaxy polls of Queensland state voting intention every six weeks or so, and the latest provides no reprieve for a Labor government that seems scarcely more popular than the one south of the border. The Liberal National Party has increased its [...]
Galaxy: 54-46 to LNP in Queensland
Monday, September 14, 2009 – 1:09 am
Six weeks after a poll timed by the Courier-Mail to catch Labor at an embarrassing moment, Galaxy’s latest 800-sample survey of Queensland voters shows Anna Bligh’s government recovering but still well behind.

Sunday, August 2, 2009 – 1:38 pm
The Sunday Mail reports a Galaxy survey of 800 respondents conducted on Thursday and Friday shows a further plunge in support for the Bligh government. Unfortunately, the poll was clearly commissioned to take advantage of a horror week for the government, which is great for generating a headline but very poor form if you’re trying [...]
Galaxy: 55-45 to LNP in Queensland
Sunday, June 21, 2009 – 5:58 pm
Shades of the aftermath of the 1993 federal budget in Queensland, where the first state poll conducted in the wake of the government’s announcement of asset sales and abolition of the petrol subsidy has seen a plunge in support for Anna Bligh’s government. The Galaxy survey of 800 respondents shows the LNP opening up a [...]
Reuters Poll Trend: 56.6-43.4
Thursday, May 21, 2009 – 4:18 pm
Reuters Poll Trend is back in business, presumably resuming its old methods of providing a weighted aggregate of results from Newspoll, Morgan and ACNielsen. As such it tells us nothing we didn’t already know, but its trend line is a handy thing to have. The current finding combines three weeks of results and has Labor’s [...]
